"Mr President, Prime Minister, I should like to start by wishing you and your team every success with the Belgian Presidency. A whole range of important priorities have been reviewed in the course of this debate. I should like to draw your attention to one very specific dossier that is crucial as regards the European transport sector, the further development of a sound European transport infrastructure and the achievement of our climate objectives, namely the Eurovignette Directive. This directive was dealt with at first reading back in March 2009 and has been stuck in the Council ever since. It is an important one, however, as we want to give Member States the opportunity of charging not only infrastructure costs but also external costs such as noise, air pollution and the costs of congestion to the lorries using our roads. This should result in greater efficiency in the sector, help reduce congestion, and also yield additional resources for Member States, which should be reinvested in transport systems in order to make these more sustainable and to contribute to economic growth. I ask you to support this directive."@en1
